One of my favorite books. The stories are only a few pages of big text at max. I've occasionally looked into some of the tales to see if there is truth to them (particularly, the Slippery Rock one mentioned in this article) and I have seen some evidence that the book ought not be taken as gospel. But I think I kind of knew that as a kid, and loved it anyway.
